Hi Lizzy,
My first symptoms started in my hair and scalp but I really don't have issues anymore. I don't think my symptoms were as bad as yours but I will tell you what I did.
For many nights I would saturate my hair with coconut oil and oil oforegano and cover with a disposable shower cap so that I could sleep without getting my pillow oily. Make sure it is oil of Oregano that can be used topically and that you mix it with coconut oil as it is quite strong and can burn the skin.
My most important discovery was that I was reinfecting myself by using a heated curling brush (which was similar to a curling iron but had plastic teeth). When I realized that, I tried to clean it but the task was too daunting for me, so I bought a cheap regular curling iron which I wipe down with Kleen Green, mms or hydrogen peroxide before using. Also I use combs instead of brushes (at least for now) and spray or rinse those down with the same products before each use.
I rotate shampoos too. I use Nizoral, Tea Tree shampoo and Selsun Blue. Maybe even try Mel's suggestion of a cold water rinse which I do occasionally when I get the courage to stand it.
I hope this helps. I'm sure others will give you more suggestions.
God Bless,
Donna |
